Isn't Android Studio based on IntelliJ and not a product developed from ground up? And Android Studio has second order revenue from the playstore.

I wouldn't be even surprised if internally the AS team's financials are counted under the Playstore umbrella.

Antigravity is based on VS Code, not designed from the ground up, and has second order revenue from the AI subscriptions (financials probably counted under the AI umbrella).

I still wouldn't trust a Google product to stick around, but these hints aren't a reliable oracle either.

When AS was launched Android was the only other viable option and it is the same even today. I don't believe Google's AI products will reach and/or sustain the same dominance as Android.

It is a product launched in the hype cycle of AI. Google has plenty of other products (launched during hype cycles) that are gathering dust.

That's not a guaranteed signal that it will meet the same fate but its something strong enough to be wary of.

It's interesting to think that Google's Antigravity is a forked version of MSFT's VS Code, which uses a browser engine built by Google, which they forked from Apple, which they forked from KHTML.
